Mundane Life | A Feline-Filled Birthday Celebration at C&U Catfe (Cat Cafe)

This event occurred several months ago, specifically on my daughter's 13th birthday. My husband and I are not fans of extravagant celebrations due to the inconvenience of organizing them and the unnecessary expenses incurred merely to please others. When it comes to our children's birthdays, we opt to spend more money to fulfill their specific desires. We might also host small gatherings with their close circle of friends. I believe this approach adds more significance to their special day and is also less stressful for us parents.

On my daughter's 13th birthday, we decided to take her to a unique venue for a special celebration. To maintain the element of surprise, we deliberately kept the details in the dark, ensuring she remained unaware of the special arrangements until the actual day of her birthday.

The special place we took her to was a Cat Cafe! This recently opened cafe was conveniently situated not far from our apartment. Despite our family's deep affection for cats, we were unable to have one as a pet due to various reasons. My daughter, in particular, has a profound love for cats, making the Cat Cafe a perfect choice for her birthday celebration.

On the morning of her birthday, we instructed her to get ready to receive her "special" gift from us. Although she was curious, she refrained from pestering us, eagerly anticipating whatever surprise awaited her.

The drive to the cafe took about 15 minutes, and upon our arrival around 11 AM, she was pleasantly surprised. We intentionally arrived early, understanding that the kids would need some time to play and interact with the cats.

The official name of the cafe was C&U Catfe. A banner at the entrance caught our attention, promoting the available lunch set at the cafe.

As you can see in these photos, the place was clean but unoccupied since we were the first customers of the day. The cafe boasted a spacious layout with minimalist decor and a high ceiling. The cat villa, situated on the first floor, required cafe patrons to buy their food and drinks before gaining access to play with the cats. I believe this rule serves well to deter non-patrons from entering the cat villa without making a purchase.

Posters featuring the resident cats adorned the walls, adding a charming touch to the ambiance. In total, there were 7 cats, with the majority being purebred.

Here is the entrance to the first-floor cat villa. Before ascending the staircase, we were required to remove our shoes.

Upon entering the cat villa, we were warmly welcomed by these sweet furbabies. They were so fluffy the kids were going nuts!

I took some pictures of these fluffy cuddly balls. They were so cute and not afraid of strangers 😍

My favorite was this handsome gray tomcat but I couldn't remember its name.

My handsome boy stopped by a drinking fountain after playing with us for a while.

We indulged in nearly 2 hours of playtime with the cats, but as the place began to fill up with other patrons, we made the decision to leave. My daughter was smiling broadly and I knew she enjoyed her birthday gift 😁

Are you a cat person? Have you ever been to a cat cafe before?
